"Miss, it's getting dark soon. How about we make our move tonight?"
Liu Ge said from the side.
"Of course we'll do it tonight. I'm not bold enough to kidnap a well-known entrepreneur in broad daylight, especially as a non-human."
Zi Wangyou still knew her limits. If she did that, the Cleaners might put out a warrant for her arrest.
When that time comes, the areas she could move around in would be greatly reduced.
But right now, she could walk openly on the streets without even needing to wear colored contacts.
...
At this time, Xu Mu had already begun refining pills.
He first refined the Blood Chrysanthemum and the Black Mountain Ginseng. To increase the medicinal efficacy, he specifically added a few fifth and sixth-grade heavenly treasures as supplements.
In the end, he refined a total of fifteen pills from the Black Mountain Ginseng and thirteen from the Blood Chrysanthemum.
"These should be enough to satisfy the people around me."
Xu Mu grabbed a box and packed these two types of pills first.
If he were to sell them, the value of a single pill would be immeasurable.
After all, countless experts were stuck at the peak of the early Grandmaster stage. If they took one Black Mountain Ginseng pill, there was a high probability they would break through to the mid Grandmaster stage.
The difference between these two realms was like night and day.
Xu Mu then looked at the remaining medicinal herbs. Because there were too many varieties, he didn't know what to refine for a moment.
Suddenly, he looked at the pill furnace he had casually molded. Since he had a treasure like Gold Spirit Iron, he planned to refine some pills for healing and restoring Qi.
Whether for himself or the others, having them carry a few extra pills around would definitely save their lives in a pinch.
Thus, Xu Mu continued his refinement.
Not long after, he heard the familiar roar of a car engine. Sweeping the area with his perception, he found that it was indeed Ye Tong returning.
After parking the car, Ye Tong walked over with a smile. "Hubby."
"You're back?"
Xu Mu looked up and said.
"Refining pills again?"
Ye Tong squatted opposite Xu Mu, looking at the pots and pans beside him.
"Yeah."
Xu Mu nodded. The pills this time required steaming and boiling, which was quite troublesome and wasted a lot of time.
"Hubby, should I call those girls over again today?"
Ye Tong asked with a smile.
"Why do you keep calling them over all day?"
Xu Mu asked.
Ye Tong looked solemn. "I'm helping you pick concubines."
"Ah?"
Xu Mu looked completely bewildered. "You... you don't have a fever, do you?"
"No. In the future, when our Xu family becomes a hidden family, you'll be laughed at by other families if you only have one wife!"
Ye Tong said seriously.
"What the hell!"
Xu Mu flicked Ye Tong's forehead. "Who instilled these ideas into your head?"
"I figured it out myself."
As Ye Tong spoke, she took out her phone, ready to make a call.
She first called Meng Wanyue, then stood up and walked to the side. After a brief chat, she hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
"Wanyue said that one of her older sisters came to see her today. She also mentioned that her sister seemed to be in a bad mood, so she won't be coming over."
Ye Tong said as she put her phone away.
Xu Mu didn't even need to think to know it was definitely Xiao Ran. "Since Wanyue isn't coming, don't call the others either. Tonight, we'll battle after dinner, and we won't have to worry about anyone disturbing us."
Hearing this, Ye Tong's face instantly flushed red. "I'll go make dinner first."
...
Xu Ningbing returned home from work as usual.
In the massive manor, apart from the servants like security guards and cleaners, there wasn't a single family member around.
It had to be said that Xu Ningbing felt a slight sense of loneliness in her heart.
Normally, she and Xu Shou lived in the manor. After all, she was still an unmarried daughter, so she naturally ate and lived with her father.
Now that Xu Mu had moved out and Xu Shou was also away, her heart felt somewhat empty.
Xu Ningbing even had the thought of driving over to Xu Mu's place right now to crash his dinner.
Holding a document, she sat on the sofa in the living room and opened it to read.
After reading for a while, she set the document aside. Just as she stood up, she heard the sound of a car.
Xu Ningbing immediately quickened her pace and walked to the door, only to find that it was Xu Shou's Rolls-Royce.
Seeing Xu Shou step out of the car, Xu Ningbing ran over with a joyful expression.
But as she got close, she asked calmly, "Didn't you say you were going away for ten days to half a month? It's only been a few days, why are you back already?"
As she spoke, another person stepped out of the car. It was Jiang Mingzhuo.
"Haha, I got in touch with a few more friends of mine. They'll be arriving tonight, so I wanted to wait for them at home."
Xu Shou chuckled as he closed the car door.
"I haven't seen you have this many friends before."
Xu Ningbing glanced at Jiang Mingzhuo and said flatly.
"Haven't I told you before? I used to be a soldier, and these are my old comrades in arms. But I served thirty years ago, back when phones and cellphones weren't common."
Xu Shou walked up to Xu Ningbing. "It wasn't easy to finally find them now."
"I think it's because you became a famous entrepreneur that they were found, right?"
Xu Ningbing's face didn't look too pleased.
She had already roughly guessed the reason. To put it bluntly, these former comrades had discovered how big Xu Shou's business had gotten and how wealthy he was, so they decided to come over and cozy up to him.
"Haha! Brother Zhuo, Ningbing just has this kind of personality. Please don't take it to heart."
Xu Shou smiled at Jiang Mingzhuo.
"Why would I take it to heart?"
Jiang Mingzhuo walked up to Xu Ningbing and grinned broadly. "I really did see him on the financial news, which is why I came looking for him."
"You..."
"Alright now."
Xu Shou patted Xu Ningbing's shoulder. "He's older than me. No matter what, he's still your uncle."
"Don't say that. Back then, your dad was the boss of our unit. Just calling me uncle is fine."
Jiang Mingzhuo smiled at Xu Ningbing.
At this moment, Xu Shou walked further away and shouted to the butler, "Old Wang, prepare some good food, and get some fine wine ready."
"Yes, sir!"
The butler replied from a distance.
Although Xu Ningbing was dissatisfied with this man, she still decided to follow along.
Since Xu Shou had handed the Xu Group over to her to manage, she wouldn't agree to it if they tried to take advantage of Xu Shou getting drunk to borrow money from him or demand exorbitant prices in business.
...
By this time, night had already fallen.
Zi Wangyou and Liu Ge were both wearing baseball caps and face masks to hide their faces.
They had arrived at the side of the manor.
"Miss, this is the Xu family manor."
Liu Ge said in a low voice.
"It looks quite grand. At this hour, I suppose they should have gotten off work."
Zi Wangyou whispered, "Let's go! We're going in."
Just as she jumped up, she found herself landing back in the same spot. To be precise, she had been pulled down the moment she leaped.
Zi Wangyou turned her head slightly, only then noticing the hand resting on her shoulder.
A cold sweat broke out all over her body. To think that a dignified peak Grandmaster like herself hadn't even noticed someone approaching her.
Just as she was about to make a move, the hand gripped her shoulder and threw her backward.
"Miss!"
Liu Ge looked at the one-armed man in a suit before him, his body trembling in fear.
However, he still cautiously shuffled toward Zi Wangyou.
When he looked over at Zi Wangyou's direction, he realized there were two other middle-aged men in suits standing in the distance.
"Ah! This is... the scent of a non-human. The face doesn't matter anymore. This body alone will make an excellent specimen."
"Since the face doesn't matter, I'll just chop off the head. I came empty-handed this time, so it'll make a perfect gift for the boss."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
